Syrian Army liberates new town in central Syria

BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:40 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their offensive operations in the eastern countryside of Hama, Saturday, targeting the Islamic State’s (ISIL) last positions near the town of Al-Maboujah in the Salamiyah District.

Led by the Qalamoun Shield forces of the 3rd Division, the Syrian Arab Army attacked the Islamic State’s positions at the small town of Al-Hanoutah, which is located just south Al-Maboujah.

The Qalamoun Shield forces would ultimately take full control of Al-Hanoutah, following an intense battle with the Islamic State terrorists that were occupying the town for more than three years.

With Al-Hanoutah liberated, the Syrian Army has successfully secured the southern perimeter of Al-Maboujah.
